1.	Such A Shame 04:32	lyrics	buy track
Your eyes can't see beyond you A Gaussian blur opaque Looking beyond is beyond you Trusting you a mistake Help is needed, none is given Your reasoning in doubt No time taken, none is given Official roundabout People under, under the water Cries wash over, over your ears Empty gestures fly like jesters Cold and toxic, where's humanity? Such a shame you really can't see the best in me It's such a shame And it's killing me It's such a shame you've no time to invest in me It's such a shame First world problems concern you Basking in your comfortable life Sitting in chambers and palaces I hear rhetoric and lies Doing nothing, saying nothing Contributing zero Smearing someone, shooting something You're no superhero Such a shame you really can't see the best in me It's such a shame And it's killing me It's such a shame you've no time to invest in me It's such a shame Such a shame you really can't see the best in me It's such a shame And it's killing me It's such a shame you've no time to invest in me It's such a shame And it's such a shame you really can't see the best in me It's such a shame It's such a shame you've no time to invest in me It's such a shame But it's over now
2.	On Diego Garcia 03:29	lyrics	buy track
Next stop the Chagos islands The stolen bijou island paradise Perfect location for dogs of war A national disgrace and a crime to deplore It's just a standard descent into fetid pits Savage conduct from duplicitous Brits Blair conspired with Liz Winter in a villainous lair Condemned Diego Garcians to eternal despair Cast adrift towards hostile shores To find life has no meaning anymore Acute sadness eats into me And the keening souls Weeping deep into the abyss of your design That's what you get when you're Diego Garcian It's truly obscene Cast adrift towards hostile shores To find life has no meaning anymore Acute sadness eats into me And the keening souls Weeping deep into the abyss of your design That's what you get when you're Diego Garcian Did I mention they gassed our dogs? What kind of monster conjures up such jobs? They replaced plants and people with tanks and bombs Brass wankers with feigned toffee accents rubber stamped these wrongs Two-faced swine flogging lame platitudes The quiddity of barbarism in a Savile Row suit Foreign Office ghoul reckons it's just fine Maintaining the fiction, sustaining the lie Maintaining the fiction, sustaining the lie Maintaining the fiction, sustaining the lie Maintaining the fiction Sustaining, maintaining, sustaining the fiction and the lies That's what you get when you're Diego Garcian That's what you get when you're Diego Garcian
3.	A New Dawn 04:01	lyrics	buy track
Do you feel a little restless tonight? Wrapped up in a dark place Waiting for a light to shine Standing on the inside looking out Bailing out your lifeboat Hoping for the tide to turn A new dawn, another shoreline Is waiting for you A new dawn, another shoreline So what will you do? A new dawn, another shoreline Waiting for you A new dawn, another shoreline Waiting Do you feel a bit more hopeful today? Wake up in the sunshine A smile and an open hand And of course there is a cost For nothing ventured, nothing lost Is that who you want to be? Would you rather never see A new dawn, another shoreline Is waiting for you A new dawn, another shoreline So what will you do? A new dawn, another shoreline Waiting for you A new dawn, another shoreline You're a long time dead You're a long time dead You're a long time dead You're a long time dead A new dawn, another shoreline A new dawn, another shoreline A new dawn, another shoreline A new dawn, another shoreline
4.	Hourglass 04:14	lyrics	buy track
Another friend, another coffin Another step toward the unknown Left behind, piecing together Opening boxes of things long forgotten Dust on my hands Tears in my eyes Dust on my hands Fear's in my eyes Dust on my hands 'Time takes the witnesses who share our story' Can't be happy Just can't be happy Can't be happy Just can't be happy Can't be happy Just can't be happy Dust on my hands Time ticks another tock And makes a new tomorrow 'Til the clock slips another cog And the time you're on is borrowed No regrets No stepping backwards I've come this far Further than my brother The future's there for the taking Do it now Waiting is no option Dust on my hands Tears in my eyes Dust on my hands Fears pushed aside Fears pushed aside Time ticks another tock And makes a new tomorrow 'Til the clock slips another cog And the time you're on is borrowed Time drips another drop The second seems to linger As the sand from the hourglass Is running through your fingers Another day, another chance Another choice to make a difference 'Time grinds diamonds into sand And that sand fills another hourglass' Time ticks another tock And makes a new tomorrow 'Til the clock slips another cog And the time you're on is borrowed Time drips another drop The seconds seem to linger As the sand from the hourglass Is running through your fingers Running through your fingers Is running through your fingers
5.	The Price Of Admission 04:20	lyrics	buy track
Your future was written with sticks in the dirt 'Til they made a bonfire from all of those words It's unbelievable Almost inconceivable There's a hole in the lifeboat they gave you at birth Now you're paddling upstream for all that you're worth With storm clouds overhead Or is it high noon instead? And it's hard To be lying here cold on the floor When you've paid the price of admission And they won't let you in through the door Is it too late now? You're almost incredible But just not quite You come on all heavy But you're just too lighthearted sometimes About the important things When someone else pulls all the strings Is this the wrong world again? Some thought from way back when? And it's hard To be lying here cold on the floor When you've paid the price of admission And they won't let you in through the door Is it too late now? The life that you ordered just never arrived So take what you're given Just be glad you're still alive Does it trouble you much, the injustice of it all? Is this the wrong world again? Some thought from way back when? And it's hard To be lying here cold on the floor When you've paid the price of admission And they won't let you in through the door Is it too late now? It's a hard, hard call To be here or be nowhere at all It's a hard, hard call To be here or be nowhere at all It's a hard, hard call To be here or be nowhere at all It's a hard, hard call To be here or be nowhere at all
6.	Feels Like Rain 04:15	lyrics	buy track
As the leaves turn to log fire red Sunlight more precious by the day Grey green dry stone A dull and cloudy sky It feels like rain The wind tears right through you It splits you in two I'm old and getting colder Got holes in my shoes Traffic with tempers A heart full of shame Standing at the kirbside I wish for a change It feels like rain An ill will tears through you It splits you in two Eating or heating Sipping soupstone stew Counting out the penny There's nothing coming in It feels like rain As my thoughts return again to finding rent Black mould creeping up the crumbling walls Too much pressure Battle lines are drawn It feels like rain Ill will tears through you Laughing at you The callous getting colder I don't care for you Queuing for the foodbank Chewing swallowed pride Their gravy train just passed me by It feels like rain
7.	Building Castles In Spain 04:37	lyrics	buy track
Early morning thinking process Like a motorised printing press Those tiny thoughts that you tried to suppress The castles in Spain Broken links in a chain Washed up on the beach Just out of reach Just out of reach Doubts are falling at monsoon strength Ties your noose at a shorter length You're saying things that you never meant The castles of Spain Broken links in a chain Washed up on the beach Just out of reach Just out of reach Building castles in Spain Broken links in a chain I guess it's hard to explain Maybe if I could make a plan? Stop the problems before they began? Walk before I ran Building castles in Spain Chalk pavement pictures in the rain Building castles in Spain Chalk pavement pictures in the rain
8.	Waiting 03:51	lyrics	buy track
Psychotic, despotic Oppressive, cruel, severe Neurotic, demonic Death deal profiteers Which maniac this time? Which fingers twitch? Which maniac this time? Which finger? In the shadows Hiding their true course Always, yes always Flogging a dead horse Which maniac this time? Which fingers twitch? Which maniac this time? Which finger? Here we are again, waiting Here we are again, waiting Pushing forwards Always backward No empathy nor wisdom here Annihilation All we know is fear Which maniac this time? Which fingers twitch? Which maniac this time? Which finger?
9.	The Atmosphere 07:06	lyrics	buy track
Something in the air Something on my mind Something coming fast Sense is hard to find All the kings horses and all the kings men Couldn't put the weather together again Something in the air Sounds like I don't care All the kings horses and all the kings men Couldn't put the weather together again And I can't breathe I can see I can feel Fear This is the atmosphere This is the atmosphere Shutting down dissent Breaking up the voice Cutting up the contract Troops have been deployed All the kings horses and all the kings men Couldn't put the weather together again I can't breathe I can see I can feel Fear This is the atmosphere This is the atmosphere I saw the four horses arriving As I wiped the dust from my face So I raised a glass to the horsemen, said 'I like what you've done with the place' Carbon offset failed Extinction Rebellion failed Rebellion failed Rebellion failed Rebellion failed Extinction... It's in the atmosphere It's in the atmosphere It's in the atmosphere There will be no reruns I repeat There will be no reruns No one's listening No one listens Our world's shut down Burnt down Burnt down World shut down
10.	Kaleidoscope Wheels 01:22	lyrics	buy track
You never ask how the butterfly feels The world turns on kaleidoscope wheels You never ask how the butterfly feels The world turns on kaleidoscope wheels You never ask how the butterfly feels The world turns on kaleidoscope wheels You never ask how the butterfly feels The world turns on kaleidoscope wheels Turns on kaleidoscope wheels Turns on kaleidoscope wheels
